The announcement for Game 1 took longer than many fans probably wanted, as neither the beat writers for the Bruins or the national writers could nail down the start time for the series. It's clear the NHL was not going to start the Bruins and Habs before Round 1 finished, and with three Game 7's to be played on Wednesday, the NHL is wasting no time in getting Round 2 started with Boston and Montreal the next day.

There are a couple of events that the NHL has had to work around in making the schedule, including Northeastern University holding their graduation Friday morning at the Garden, the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, and a couple of concerts next week at the Bell Centre.

RDS, the French-Canadian sports outlet, tweeted on Tuesday night the rest of the schedule (in French). They have Game 2 on Saturday at 12:30, Game 3 on Tuesday, May 6 at 7:00 pm and Game 4 on Thursday, May 8 also at 7:00 pm.

The early 12:30 start time for Game 2 on Saturday is due to the Kentucky Derby taking up much of NBC's programming time on Saturday. CBC in Canada can't be too pleased, as it means they won't have the Habs in their primetime slot for Hockey Night in Canada.

We'll wait and see if the NHL changes the start times for Games 2 through 4.

Until then, let's rejoice that we finally have Game 1 officially set in stone.
